Get Heart Happy

Did you know every time you lift your heart up to the sky, you not only get a great stretch--which improves posture and spine flexibility... You also get:

• A boost of energy

• Increased oxygen levels

• AND (Here is for all you Valentine's out there!) stimulation of the heart chakra, which makes you more receptive to relationships and experiences.

Here are a few backbends you might try!

• Modified Crescent Pose (With Chair)

• Seated Backbend (I call this one Flashdance!)

• Crescent Pose (Be sure your front bent knee is over your foot!)

• Camel Pose (tucking the toes under will make the reach not quite so far.)

• Bridge Pose (Make sure you keep space between your chin and your chest.)

• Savasana with Bolster (Any sturdy pillow will do!)

Get Heart Happy this Valentine's Day, With a Back Bend!
